HYTECON.
THE FUTURE OF WATER.

Company

World-leading UVC-LED disinfection systems for residential, industrial and municipal water treatment.

HYTECON develops and manufactures highly effective, sustainable water treatment systems based on future-proven UVC-LED technology. Since 2015, our research has pursued one goal: replacing mercury-based low- and medium-pressure UV systems with modern UVC-LED installations.

The decisive advantage: proven reactor geometries remain in place – now mercury-free, lower-maintenance and more energy-efficient than ever. As a technology partner, we support water utilities, municipal operators and industrial companies from initial planning through to commissioning.

Technology

UVC-LED disinfection — without chemicals, without compromise.

UVC-LED radiation inactivates the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses and parasites within seconds. The application is globally established and highly effective – and, unlike chlorination or ozonation, leaves no chemical by-products in the water.

HYTECON Control

Mercury-free UVC LEDs

Our systems fully replace conventional medium and low-pressure lamps. RoHS-compliant, with no hazardous-material handling and no contamination risk from broken glass.

Proven reactor geometries

Existing infrastructure stays in service. Our reactors are designed as drop-in replacements – lower capital expenditure and rapid integration into existing plants.

Validated performance

Certified validation to international standards. Every system ships with documented irradiance verification and calibrated sensors. From 400 J/m², a 4-log reduction is guaranteed.

Superior TCO

No warm-up time, no minimum run time. UVC LEDs deliver full output instantly. Longer maintenance intervals, minimal follow-on costs and no lamp replacement.

Integrated monitoring

Real-time monitoring of irradiance, water quality and system status. PROFINET and PLC interfaces included; remote access and data logging come as standard. Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) ready.

Scalable – DN 50 to DN 800

Our systems cover flow rates from small industrial loops to municipal mains handling several thousand m³/h. Custom designs available on request.

Applications

From the tap to municipal at scale

Municipal

Drinking water, wastewater and water reuse – wherever disinfection performance must be verified and documented.

  • Drinking water treatment
  • Wastewater disinfection
  • Water reuse
  • Decentralised supply and network dead-ends

Industry

Process and production water with stringent hygiene requirements and tight tolerances.

  • Food and beverages
  • Pharmaceuticals and semiconductors
  • Industrial process water
  • Aquaculture

Buildings & Networks

Hygienic safety in drinking water installations where stagnation and temperature pose a risk.

  • Legionella prevention
  • Hotels and hospitality
  • Healthcare and care facilities
  • Residential and commercial properties

Decentralised & mobile

Applications without fixed infrastructure, where compact design and robustness are decisive.

  • Containerised systems
  • Maritime applications
  • Rural supply
  • Household (HYPRO WATER)
ESG

Paradigm change to regulatory mandate

The Status Quo

Mercury vapour lamps

  • Contain mercury – classified as a priority hazardous substance under the Minamata Convention; RoHS exemptions are expiring.
  • Warm-up of several minutes to reach stable output; frequent switching shortens service life.
  • Glass breakage, hazardous-material handling and special-waste disposal remain permanent operational risks.
The consequence for operators

A transition that is coming

  • Every system requires a documented, compliant transition path before the exemptions expire.
  • Public tenders increasingly weight ESG criteria, energy demand and lifecycle costs.
  • Operators who plan late negotiate under time pressure.

ESG reportability

No mercury, no hazardous waste, lower energy demand – plus measurable consumption and dose data that feed directly into sustainability reports and ESG-weighted tenders.

Regulatory tailwind

The Minamata Convention and the expiring RoHS exemptions for mercury UV lamps are compelling operators to switch. We provide the compliant transition path.

Residential Solutions

Purest drinking water for point of use applications

Alongside large-scale UV systems for utilities and industry, HYTECON develops high-performance drinking water treatment for the home. HYPRO WATER combines UVC-LED disinfection with high-capacity activated carbon filtration – made in Germany.

HYPRO WATER
  • 99.99 % reduction of viruses and bacteria by UVC-LED
  • Activated carbon filtration removes pesticides, PFAS, heavy metals and microplastics
  • Minerals and trace elements are retained
  • Simple installation – no plumber required
  • Low maintenance – filter change just three times a year
  • No wastewater
